Returns & Exchanges

WHAT IF I RECEIVE A DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND WANT TO RETURN IT?

A damaged or defective product may be returned or exchanged for the same or a like product. Fender will provide a prepaid shipping label to cover send and return freight costs. Products are considered damaged or defective at the discretion of Fender and require a Return Authorization (RA) number to receive shipping label.

Aside from reported damages or defects, all returned items must be in their original condition with no signs of wear, damage, dinging, or scraping and include all original packaging, manuals, warranties, accessories, etc. (if applicable).

WHAT IF I AM SIMPLY NOT SATISFIED WITH MY PRODUCT AND WANT TO RETURN IT?

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return it for a refund of the purchase price or exchange it for the same or a like product (excluding harmonicas and In Ear Monitors).

Fender will issue a prepaid shipping label to minimize your return cost. The cost of shipping your returned item back to Fender will be deducted from your overall credit or refund. If your purchase was eligible for free shipping, the original shipping cost of the product(s) returned will also be deducted from your credit or refund.

All returned items must be in their original condition with no signs of wear, damage, dings or scrapes and include all original packaging, manuals, warranties, accessories, etc. (if applicable). Returned items not adhering to this policy may be subject to a restocking/handling fee.

Mod Shop Policy

Mod Shop products are not eligible to be returned or exchanged, unless there is a manufacturing error or product defect. All Mod Shop sales are final. If you receive a defective product, please contact us at consumerrelations@fender.com with details of the product and the defect. All defective products shall be subject to the Fender 2-year Electric Guitar and Bass Warranty.
